Location

The station is across the street from the former Los Angeles Times Building and a block from the Broadway Theater District.

Historic Broadway is part of the Regional Connector project, a tunnel through Downtown Los Angeles that will connect the current Metro Rail A, E, and L Lines. The station is planned to be served by both the restructured A Line, connecting Long Beach and Azusa, and the restructured E Line, connecting Santa Monica and East Los Angeles. The station is sited in a private right of way, requiring agreements with the property's owner before a high-rise could be built on the site in the future. It was constructed via the sequential excavation method, the first time Metro has utilized the process.[3] The Regional Connector is scheduled to open in 2022.[3]
